About us
Renting in Nigeria is broken. We’re fixing the part that hurts most.
Finding a home here means paying an agent a fifth of your annual rent, chasing listings that turn out to be stolen photos, and burning weekends inspecting houses that were never real. RealDom exists to delete the middleman: verified landlords, verified homes, and a direct line between the two people who actually matter.
Why we built it
A Nigerian renter typically pays 20–25% of a year’s rent in agency and “agreement” fees before they hold a key. On a ₦2,000,000 flat that’s up to ₦500,000 — for introductions and a set of photos.
Meanwhile landlords wait weeks for tenants because their listing sits behind three agents, each adding their own markup and their own story. Both sides lose. The only winner is the layer in between.
So we removed the layer. Landlords list for free. Renters browse for free. The only thing we charge for is the thing that used to cost you a fifth of your rent: talking to the landlord.
What we stand for
Three promises we don’t bend on.
Verified, or it doesn't go live
Every landlord submits ID and proof of ownership, and every listing is reviewed by a human before a renter can see it. If we can't verify it, we don't publish it.
The full cost, upfront
Rent, legal fee, caution fee, service charge — the whole move-in total is on the listing before you call anyone. No surprises on the day you're meant to pay.
You talk to the owner
No agent, no agent's agent, no cousin of the caretaker. Messages go straight to the person who actually owns the home.
How verification works
“Verified” means something here.
It’s the most abused word in Nigerian property listings, so here is exactly what ours involves. A landlord cannot publish anything until all of this passes.
Browse verified homes- Government ID checked against the landlord's profile
- Proof of ownership reviewed before any listing is published
- Listing details and photos checked for reuse and misrepresentation
- Renters rate landlords after real contact — no anonymous reviews
